Clothing of the Coreans.


 In the matter of clothing Corea is unique. The prevailing color is what is supposed to be white. A man starting out in the morning arrayed in freshly laundered clothing presents remarkably fresh appearance, but on his return at night he may not be spotless. The articles of clothing worn are first, a hat, or rather two, or even three, are worn at one time; tunic, loose and reaching to the waist; loose, baggy, white trousers, supported by a girdle; white leggings, white stockings, shoes of various kinds, and over all coat, the sleeves of which are very flowing and reach down to the hips or lower, and are sewed up from the bottom to the wrist, so as to form very capacious pockets, where merchants often carry goods in astonishing quantities. In these pockets the petty official carries his fan, his handkerchiefs, his tablets for writing and sundry little articles. Not to be forgotten are the purses for coins and knife, and the tobacco pouch and pipe suspended from the girdle, without which no Corean is dressed. In the case of men of high rank, however, these lat ter articles are carried by his servants, 8 great retinue of whom attend him.
 Of all lands in the world, Corea is the land of hats. There is some variety, but no change of style. The fashion once set, everybody follows it and sticks to it. With the exception of the forests of the Amazon, where hats, like umbrellas, are worn to shed the snakes which rain down from the dense overhanging branches, Corea leads the world in the superficial area of headgear. They may be seen there measuring two feet from the rim to the crown. The stockings and shoes are also very peculiar.-London Figaro.

A Remedy in Old Age.


 A swell English tourist, who last sum- mer was making trip down the Hudson in day steamer to New York, was evil dently induced by two hlooded society young men of that city to make the river trip, as they hoped to impress him with the beautiful scenery of that picturesque stream. When passing through the High lands his attention was called to the TO- mantle location of West Point. ssAw, that's vewy nice, but not remarkable. :" "Have you seen Niagara falls?'' inquired one of the gentlemen. '1 saw the cata- wact of Niagara last week." answered the Englishman. ''How did that impress you?' asked the young New Yorker. "Vewy fine, but it might be improved, you know. Age will do that; this is a young country, you know. "-Exchange.

Tho Making of Mirrors.

There are three kinds of mirrors known to commerce-the French plate, the Ger man plate and the common American glass, usually called shocks The lat ter can be told by their tendency to plant the nose well around toward the ear, or a more or less successful effort to get both eyes in the same place. The German plate is imported in regular sizes, already silvered. It is very thin but generally perfect glass, and comes about one-fifth cheaper than the French plate, which is used altogether for first class mirrors. The difference can be told by pressing the finger on the face of the glass, by which the thickness can readily be perceived. There are three factories in the United States manufacturing plate glass, but none of them has yet succeeded in secur- ing the necessary whiteness and freedom from bubbles. Imperfections that are not noticeable in clear plate become very prominent when silvered. ''Silvering quality glass. as it is known, is carefully selected by the French manufacturers and sold for that purpose, commanding 8 higher price than the balance of the pro duct.
 There are two different processes of sil- vering, mercury being used for one and nitrate of silver for the other. The latter are known as patent backs," although not patented, and are generally replacing mercury on account of the greatly de- creased risk in handling. In the former process a sheet of tinfoi, somewhat larger than the mirror wanted, IS placed upon a level table, tho bed of which is of glass or marble, and which must be absolutely clean and free from even the slightest scratch. Strips of glass are then placed on the edges of the foil to prevent the mer- cury from running of. AS much mercury as the inclosure will hold is then poured over the fon, after which the plate is foated on and entirely covered with heavy iron weights. The table is then tilted and the surplus mercury drains of, after which they are stood on edge to dry, which requires from one to two weeks. In making ''patent back'' the glass is laid on a table, underneath which is a steam coil. The nitrate of silver in soln- ton is then poured on, a gentle heat ap- piled and the silver precipitated. The back is then painted and the mirror is complete. Either process requires great amount of skill and care. Absolute cleanli- ness is imperatively necessary in every part of the work. Distilled water is used in cleaning the plate preparatory to silver ing, and 8 drop of precipitation or dust spells the work.-Globe- Democrat.

Dutch Care of Birds.

The worthy Dutchmen who settled on the banks of the Hudson were more hos pitable to birds than their descendants have shown themselves to be. They not only let the birds alone, but encouraged them to build their nests about the houses. These wise settlers knew that the birds would pay for their protection hy feeding on the insects that swarm ln 8 new country.
 Each large Dutch house had Q portico, hoored like room, open at the sides, with seats all around. Abovc q slight roof, painted hkc an awning, or cover ing of lattice work, over which trans planted wild grape vine spread it's luxuri- ant leaves.
 Here hundreds of little birds domesti- cated, occupying small shelf built round the portico, where they were as sacred as the household gods of the Ro- mans. Children and slaves were taught to regard them as the good genii of the family, who were to be cherished, but not disturbed.
 In clearing the ground for house a tree was always left in the middle of the backyard for the use of the birds. The negroes, quick to initiate their masters, used old hats to form asylums for their little feathered friends. The deal fences were also utilized by tho negroes to fur nish homes for the birds. On the stakes, to which the deals were nailed, were stuck the skeleton heads of horses and cattle, the jaws being fixed in the poles 30 that tho skulls should be uppermost.
 In those days there were no pot hunt CTS. The small birds were so tame that when the family were breakfasting o, drinking tea in the air portico-a sum- mer custom-they constantly glided over the table with some insect to feed their young chirping above.-Youth f Companion.

shrewd Now York Judge.

The man declared that the watch was his, and the woman was mistaken in identifying it as hers. Suddenly the judge asked, "Where's the key?"
 The prisoner fumbled in his pockets and said he must have left it at home.
 The judge asked him if he had wound the watch frequently with the key and he said 'Yes."
 Then key was procured, watch and key were handed the prisoner, and he was told to wind the watch. He opened the case, but could not find any place to use the key, because the watch was a stemwinder.
 The sentence was five years and half, Youths Companion.

Exemption from Pulmonary Diseases.

Dr. Rush declares his conviction that the German people are largely indebted for their exemption from pulmonary dis eases to the strength and volume which their lungs acquire in the practice of vocal music, which is well nigh universal among the people, extending from child hood to old age. He thinks the educa- tion of the voice and the practice of sing ing, involving. as it does, the proper exercise of the organs of the throat and the lungs, should form part of our physical education.

A nlerolo nider,. FRAMING.

When asked what course of training a
bicycle rider undergoes a prominent BIZ
cyclist said:
'In our training we take plenty Of
hard exercise and eat nothing but light
food. 1t is not safe to eat any kind Of
vegetables or to drink coffee. Rare beef,
beef tea, oatmeal Cruel, raw oysters and
rare eggs constitute most OF our diet In
a long race the second and third days are
the hardest. Then the muscles of the
ankles and legs are all contracting with
the continued short leg motion. At the
last of race we ride a much shorter
wheel than when we began. Warm
baths and dry rubbing, followed by lini-
ment baths, keep us up during the race.
A crowd and the excitement has much TO
do with the speed. People and applause
make fast riding
CATER the race our legs are short and
stiff and it takes at least two weeks TO get
back to ones natural condition and
shape. The exercise is all in the lower
parts Of the legs and back. Our arms are
used, but not strengthened much. A
fifty mile race is more tiresome, but not
as lasting in its effects. New York

to suppress it as such, which he did. Thus

Rxercising the 'sDemon Of Pride"
A miller woman named Jallu had four

A miller woman named Jallu had four
children, two sons and two daughters.
The elder daughter, Esther Jallu, was
pretty and conscious of the fact. She
had also some education, and was a great
favorite in the village, where the other
inmates of the mill were dislixed and
feared. One day her family began to as
sumo that she was possessed of the de
mon of pride. There was an evil spirit
in Esther's body, and the brothers Jalh
declared to everybody that they would in
some way drive it out. After eliminating
upon the matter for some time they
barred the doors of the mill, and, seixing
their sister, threw her ON the floor. One
of them held her down while the other
bored holes in her with an augur. The
demon was to escape out Of her body by
these openings.
While the screams of the tortured girl
were half drowned by the noise of mill
stones turning rapidly, two women--the
mother and sister--were actually kneel-
ing beside her praying for the success Of
the operation. Four holes were bored
one in the forehead, one in the body and
one in each leg. Whether these ignorant
peasants really imagined that they could
thus drive the demon Of pride out Of
their sister, or whether they premeditated
the murder they committed, mattered
very little for Esther, who, of course,
died under the operation. The gend-
armes were at once informed Of the oc-
currence, and, the inmates Of the mill
having been seized, they were senSto q

snperstltl an Among enc pols..

There is Ia Venerable superstition among
Polish people that when crow alights on
house 1t portends death to one or more
of the occupants. When, about 8o'clock
Thursday morning couple Of birds Of
this species we're deserted calmly perched
on the roof of one of Poland's sons on
Racine street. north of Brady, the neigh
borhood, which is inhabited almost en-
tirely by Poles. was thrown into the
greatest excitement. In less than half
an hour the street was filed with people,
the proportions of the crowd attracting
the attention Of the police. Hostile DEM
onstrations caused the sable hued birds to
fly to an adjoining roof. Up popped
an upper story window in the next
house, a woman's head appeared, and in
evident alarm the woman waved an apron
nieaningly at the "birds of evil omen"
Instead Of being frightened away the
crows took the waving Of the apron as a
mark Of welcome and changed their po-
sition from the roof of her neighbor to
her own housetop.
By. this time the excitement Of the
crowd below had grown to fever pitch.
Women were shedding tears or mumbling
a prayer, while little children chung to
their skirts, unable to make out what
was the matter. Men and women were
gathered in knots, all gesticulating and
jabbering at once, but all keeping a
weather eye open and a pocketful Of
stones ready in case the birds should steer
for their own premises. Finally the
crows began to fly from house to house,
and then there was shower of stones as
thick as hail, men, women and boys
being engaged in the fasillade amid the
most Undesirable excitement. The birds
flew from house to house until they had
